I usually liked TDY ...... except for the 30 day TDY when I was attached to an armored cavalry squadron.

Yep, I spent 30 days in Germany, on or in the EDP (Emergency Defensive Positions) along the 5 K zone (a five kilometer wide band of ground between East and West Germany).

That in itself wouldn't have been all bad ...... except ...... there were two versions of where the boundaries were ....... the geographical border and the political border. Then, of course there were two interpretations ...... the Soviet side and this hair brained commander’s version, to which I was attached.

Since I was attached to his unit, he was in command. He thought that his M114s were tanks. NO ..... they were no match for a Soviet tank .....

Yep, with a top speed of 60 MPH they could outrun a Soviet tank ....... until it fired it's main gun ....... then ....poof ....... or you could return fire with the M-60 MG or .50 Cal MG. ....... which were good weapons but NOT anti-tank weapons.


THE END

Yes sir! Going to CA for a few days.

No worries. Always a pleasure meeting a Veteran. Thank you very much for your service!

I haven’t had the chance to check the oil level nor exhaust leaks. I had the car checked twice for leaks after I installed my catback and both times had no leaks. That was last March though.

@humfrz @Ultramaroon Hey guys, hope all is well.

Had a visit to the dealership yesterday. Got my 18 month service out of the way. Had the tech do a thorough inspection and he wasn't able to find anything out of the ordinary. He checked the transmission fluid and said the level was good and still looked clean. He also checked for exhaust leaks and didn't find anything. All in all, I think I may have just gotten in my own head again and focused in on noises that are actually normal. As for the gear chatter on cold starts, I was told to just keep an eye on it and if it gets louder or worse to bring it in.

Starting to get the mod-bug again, been looking into the OFT tablet and a drop in air filter. Hoping to find a little more low-end torque!

I appreciate you guys taking the time to address all this stuff. Have a good one!
